Wilkie Bard was a specialist in character studies and his sketches included “The Cleaner” and “The Bathing Machine Attendant”. Often he appeared in female roles such as “I want to sing in Opera”; this song also exploited a technique known as the “Interrupted Turn” which he originated and which has been used by most double acts ever since. He had a long career in pantomime, appearing twice at Drury Lane where he introduced the vogue for tongue twisters like “She sells seashells on the seashore”. The Album contains 24 tracks, being recorded between 1908 and 1936.
